Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Opal 2.0 ice maker, particularly the excellent ice quality and ease of use. The side tank and its convenient size for countertop placement are also well-received. However, some customers have concerns regarding the noise level and long-term reliability, while others feel the cleaning process is a bit lengthy.

    Well, we’ve had it for just over 2 months and it has quit making ice. That was my fear. Works great until it doesn’t. We’ll see how warranty issues are handled and update when we hear something. We did get the extended plan with BB as well. Don’t think that helps until the manufacturers 1 year warranty is over.

    Incredible machine! It is as good as advertised and better. We love the "good" ice and use it everyday. I don't think we have used our refrigerator ice maker since we received this one.

    This thing was amazing at first. Made a lot of nugget ice pretty quickly. Over time it started to get louder and make some awkward noises. Five months later im left without a functional $500 ice maker and GE is taking foever to honor the one year replacement warranty. This was cleaned every 3 weeks using their opal cleaning solution as instructed. Read reviews elsewhere, this thing is junk.

    Works great. Be sure to follow instructions and clean before starting the ice making process. Took a little while to get started, but well worth the wait for "The Good Ice", as we call it!

    This review is strictly on the ice maker. The first one worked as it should until it started making a very loud noise. Obviously not right. Packed it up and returned to Best Buy for an exchange. Machine two showed signs of refurbishment and then leaked water from within the housing. Repack and back to BB. Exchanged for machine three. Seems to be working now now there weeks. The part? Having a Best Buy warranty on purchases saved me from blowing a head gasket. The BB staff solved my problem each time and left me genuinely glad to have purchased from Best Buy. So, I'm saying I think this ice maker is top notch BUT we had to go through two of them in a month and number three is still in the honeymoon stage. But the whole family just loves this ice.
